DIAGNOSTIC OVERVIEW

What Autoimmune Panel Is

This is a clinician-led extension rather than a general wellness screen. It combines antinuclear antibodies, immunoglobulins and thyroid antibodies, the markers usually considered when thyroid results or symptoms suggest an immune component is worth investigating.

Why it's worth it

Goes beyond standard thyroid testing.

Three marker groups, one blood draw.

Interpreted carefully, never in isolation.

DIAGNOSTIC DETAILS

What it measures

The panel covers antinuclear antibodies, your immunoglobulin levels and thyroid antibodies including thyroid peroxidase and thyroglobulin. These are markers that inform an assessment rather than deliver a diagnosis, and antibody results in particular need careful interpretation.

Get started with Precursor

Thyroid Antibodies

Thyroid peroxidase and thyroglobulin antibodies, the markers that indicate whether your immune system is involved in how your thyroid is behaving.

Immunoglobulins

Your antibody levels are measured, adding context on how your immune system is functioning overall.

Antinuclear Antibodies

A broader immune marker that informs further assessment. It needs careful reading, since it can be present without any condition being active.

Always In Context

Read with your thyroid function, symptoms and history rather than as a standalone answer.

HOW IT WORKS

From booking to your results

The markers standard thyroid testing does not cover. Here is how an Autoimmune Panel goes from a clinical conversation to results you understand.

Speak with your clinician

This is a clinician-selected panel rather than a general screen, so it starts with a conversation about whether your thyroid results, symptoms or history warrant it.

Give your sample

A standard blood draw at a partner collection centre, usually five to ten minutes. Where possible it is collected alongside your other bloods, so there is no separate trip.

Laboratory analysis

An accredited pathology laboratory measures your antinuclear antibodies, immunoglobulins and thyroid antibodies from the same sample.

Results in the app

Your results land in the Precursor app in plain language rather than raw laboratory terms, presented alongside your thyroid function results.

Careful interpretation

A clinician explains what each marker means in context, why a positive antibody result is not the same as a condition, and what further assessment, if any, is sensible.

"Antibody testing is easy to order and easy to misread. A positive result can sit quietly in someone who is perfectly well, which is why these markers belong in a conversation rather than a checkout."

FAQs

Your Questions, Answered

How do I book a test?

Choose your test and a time that suits you online, then visit one of our partner locations. If any preparation is needed, such as fasting, we tell you clearly when you book.

When and how do I get my results?

Your results appear in the Precursor app once your sample or scan has been processed, laid out in plain language rather than a wall of numbers. Turnaround depends on the test, and we give you a timeframe when you book.

Will someone explain my results to me?

Yes. A clinician reviews your results, flags anything worth your attention and helps you understand what they mean and what, if anything, to do next. You are never left to interpret them alone.

Where can I get tested?

We operate through partner locations across South East Queensland, including Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast. You choose the most convenient one when you book.

Do I need to prepare or fast beforehand?

It depends on the test. Some require fasting or other simple preparation, and others need nothing at all. Whatever applies, we tell you clearly at the time you book so there are no surprises on the day.

Can I track my results over time?

Yes. The Precursor app is built to show change between tests, so each result becomes a trend you can follow rather than a one-off snapshot. Retesting lets you see the effect of any changes you make.

How is my data handled and kept private?

Your health data is handled with care and kept private. Results are stored securely in the Precursor app and shared only with you and the clinicians involved in your care.

What happens if something needs further attention?

If your results surface something worth acting on, your clinician explains it calmly and talks you through sensible next steps. The aim is early clarity and considered action, never unnecessary alarm.

What is a good BRI score?

There is no single answer, because it depends on your height and which guidance you are being measured against. This calculator converts the Australian waist thresholds into BRI at your own height, so your bands are specific to you. Most BRI tools use bands from an American mortality study, which produce noticeably different results for Australians.

Is BRI better than BMI?

It is better at one specific thing, which is detecting central fat, because it uses your waist. It is not better across the board. BMI is generally reliable when it flags someone, and research suggests the two measures agree in the large majority of cases. The useful comparison is not which one wins but whether they disagree about you.
